Share your expertise and submit a proposal for the 2025 Summit.

The Maryland Council on Economic Education invites you to submit a proposal for the 2025 Financial and Economic Educator Summit, which will be held on June 24th at the Hotel at Arundel Preserve in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

In an effort to bring our Maryland teachers a wide range of sessions that showcase innovative ways to share personal finance and economics concepts, we are requesting proposals from the education community and supporting organizations.

Proposal Information

Proposals will be accepted between November 25, 2024, and January 31, 2025.

Please submit your proposal by clicking the icon above and following all steps to complete the submission process.

Sessions are approximately 45 minutes in length.

Preferred Topics Include:

• Teaching Financial Mathematics
• Math-Based Games for Economics and Personal Finance
• A Classroom Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Involving Economics and/or Personal Finance
• How to Teach Credit and Debt Management to Elementary Students
• The Needs and Responsibilities of an Informed Consumer in 2025
• Financial Psychology (Behavioral Economics)
• Using Infographics to Teach Economics and/or Personal Finance
• The Economics of Food
• Activities and/or Literature Based Lessons to Teach Personal Finance in Elementary Classrooms

Each proposal should:

• present ideas, best practices, and strategies for effective implementation of information learned once attendees are back in their classrooms,
• focus on a topic, classroom resource, or teaching methodology and not to market a specific company or product,
• illustrate a balanced point of view and not convey a political statement.

Proposals will be reviewed by MCEE's education staff. Your proposal may not be selected. There are a limited number of sessions for each grade band. If we receive more quality proposals than we have space for, we may ask you to present your session at another time. We will notify you in early February as to whether your proposal has been accepted and convey next steps.

Note: You are welcome to submit more than one proposal, but you must complete an online submission form for each proposal.
